The Traitors at Wheeling.

Alexandria, May 13--The Tory Convention of Northwestern Virginia met at Wheeling to-day, for the purpose of concerting measures for a division of the State. It is rumored that over thirty counties were represented. The proceedings have not transpired.

[Whatever may come from Wheeling by telegraph will have a Black Republican coloring. If thirty counties were represented there, it was (outside of Wheeling and the Pan Handle) by a few disorganizers. Carlile is the leading spirit in this movement. It will doubtless turn out that neither Weitman T. Willey, nor Wm. G. Brown, nor any other man of prominence, took part in the proceedings. The Pan Handle is making a tremendous splutter, but the country will not respond.]
